FAQs

Are these trainers suitable for long-distance running?

The Adistar Control 5 is designed as a lifestyle trainer for daily wear; while comfortable, it lacks the specialized support required for long-distance running.

How do I determine the right size?

These trainers are sized in standard UK adult sizing. It is recommended to choose your usual athletic shoe size.

Can I replace the insole?

Yes, the textile sock liner can typically be removed if you need to use custom orthotic inserts.

How should I clean the metallic overlays?

Use a damp, lint-free cloth with mild soapy water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive sponges, which can scratch the metallic finish.

Is the material waterproof?

No, the open mesh upper is designed for maximum breathability and is not waterproof.

What is the primary material used?

The upper features a combination of breathable open mesh and synthetic metallic overlays, supported by a durable rubber outsole.

Troubleshooting

Laces coming undone frequently

Ensure you are using a double knot or checking the eyelet tension to distribute pressure evenly.

Visible dirt trapped in mesh

Use a dry, soft-bristled toothbrush to gently agitate and lift debris from the mesh pores.

Outsole loses grip

Check the tread for embedded stones or debris and wipe the outsole with a damp cloth to remove slippery buildup.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Distinctive 00s-inspired visual design
  • Breathable upper keeps feet comfortable in warm weather
  • Reliable rubber outsole for city street traction
  • Comfortable textile liner for daily wear

Cons

  • Metallic overlays may be prone to visible scuffing
  • Primarily designed for lifestyle rather than specialized athletic performance
  • Limited to specific colorway and sizing availability

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure your Adidas Adistar Control 5 trainers last, follow these guidelines. For the initial setup, loosen the laces completely before sliding your foot in to ensure the mesh upper settles correctly over your midfoot. Avoid machine washing, as the heat and agitation can damage the metallic overlays and the adhesive used in the construction. Instead, use a soft-bristled brush to remove dry dirt from the mesh and a damp cloth to wipe down the outsole and overlays. Store them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent the materials from fading or becoming brittle.
